I'm not a big Shonda fan (HTGAWM is the first show of hers I've actually watched, and that's because #violadavisisbetterthaneveryone), but I agree she's done a great job with engaging in the critical conversations about her work through that actual work, as well as on Twitter and other forms of social media. I would…

How quaint. You think we aren't still trying to combat racialized disparities and inequities in employment, housing, lending, education, health care access, arrest and incarceration rates and sentencing, and even school discipline for elementary school students ABOUT NOW? Oh no, you're right. We just hold on to…

Well, either he wrote it, or his PUA chatroom buddies joined forces for a group review. Blatant, sad and gross at the same time.

My thought exactly. I am a therapist and I couldn't understand why Grant needed to tape the sessions. The therapist should have reported this as soon as any disclosure emerged, especially if identifiable victims were discussed. And since this was in California, where they operate under Tarasoff, confidentiality…

Yes. Explains why when I was doing my grad school family therapy internships at SMU and UT Southwestern I saw so many referrals from HPISD.

I don't mean to be that person, but you mean Owen Wilson. Luke was not in that movie, nor is he in the pic accompanying this story.

I had a Keane knock-off hanging in my childhood bedroom, from ages 7 to 10. Those freaky eyes seemed to follow me around the room and I would always get startled at night because a shaft of moonlight would shine right on it, I'd wake up, and the eerie glow from those creepy saucers would scare the crap out of me. I…

I love Coldplay, have seen them in concert from smallish theatres to Barclay Center in Brooklyn, and loved every minute of it. Not ashamed! But JL knowing the words to every song is nothing. Anybody who's ever seen Coldplay live knows their shows are big sing-a-longs; EVERYBODY knows the words to every song.

I was born and raised in Texas (with a few years in Kansas in between), and I've lived in New York City for the past three years. People ALWAYS ask me where I'm from, because they KNOW I'm not from New York. When I say, "Texas". they always respond with, "How long ago did you live there?" They seem shocked when I…

This is the most succinct and on point comment of our current state of affairs and how I feel pretty whenever I'm on the internet or turn on the TV. Even sites that normally have thoughtful and intelligent commenters, like Slate and The Atlantic, have become cesspools of racist, victim-blaming vitriol. This peaceful…

Stefani's career has been defined by appropriation, from No Doubt's Cali-style faux-ska to her sudden designation as everyone's favorite hook singer in the early 2000's. Her wearing of the bindi in the mid-90's was excused because she couldn't wait to tell everyone how it was inspired by all the family gatherings she…

Polanski did not "have sex with a minor". He gave a 13 year-old champagne and Quaaludes before before forcing himself on her, orally, vaginally, and anally. Talk about misrepresentation and inaccuracies. By any definition, Polanski "rape-raped" her. Goldberg's own lack of familiarity with the particulars of the…

Are you on disability? I ask seriously, because you are clearly cognitively, as well as grammatically, impaired. It has got to be painful to be so stupid and so self-hating. Because why the hell would I accept someone speaking in "the collective" when he so clearly evinces such contempt for his own people? YOU are…

I'm sorry you are unable to to back up your assertions rather than rant in nonsensical diatribes that you errantly think are supposed to be intimidating or something. I don't know who the fuck you think YOU ARE, but I too am GROWN AS HELL (see, I can use capitals too!) and your stupidity in trying to speak on behalf…

Wow. You are really pathetic, aren't you? Now you're trying to claim we're talking about different threads? That I've mistaken you for another idiot? Oh no, I know how to navigate Kinja and can follow your blatherings easily enough, as can everyone else who was participating in this thread. But I'll bite:

Oh honey. I am so sorry. I didn't realize you were so impaired. I really don't know why you're trying to talk with grownups who actually understand English, but good effort, I guess.

Then we are in agreement. You are not good at this. But please, come again.

You don't know what "insinuation" means, do you? Look it up and PROVE to me you can use it correctly in a sentence. Hint: you didn't. Then we'll worry about what I have to PROVE to you on the internet. Damn, dude. You're not even good at this.

If Stephen A. Smith and Whoopi Goldberg are his examples of support, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Not to mention he doesn't seem to grasp that the anecdotal examples of two fools who are routinely called out in the "Black publications" he keeps citing (without actually "citing" them, since he…

Bwahahahahahaha!! You know, it is fairly easy to look up someone's comment history before you make a fool of yourself. Would that you had. YOU are trying to school ME on the black community? That is hilarious. Stephen A. Smith is not a respected member of MY black community. We are not a monolith, and he by no…
